I called today from the USA at 1-855-585-8264 (from the Avios website) and got the points transferred. The webchat wasn't working for some reason (could be work VPN) but called, confirmed some personal info to validate it was me and points were transferred to Avios. Then transferred them to IB seamlessly online.
Whole process took less than 10 minutes.

So I can log into avios.com, britishairways.com, and iberia.com.
On avios.com I can choose Iberia as the partner and log in and it looks like it might work. But if I choose BA I get an error "Combine my avios is not available"
On Iberia I get "Login failed" right away.
On BA I get "Please wait..." which never completes
So it looks like I can push/pull between avios.com and Iberia using avios.com and the other two sides of the triangle don't work at all from either direction.
My address matches on all three but avios.com has a separate "Country" field which cannot be changed and does not match. But I definitely had this working at some point in the past.

Combine My Avios appears to be working again, at least today I was able to transfer from Avios.com (Aer Lingus Avios) to my BA account. The first time in the last three weeks or so.

I cannot combine British Airways and iberia avios. Direction British Airways to iberia. I tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I keep getting these messages:
British Airways: Combine my Avios is not available at the moment. Please try again later
iberia: Combine my Avios was unsuccessful / Combine my Avios is not available at the moment. Please try again later
I tried it with Safari, Chrome and Firefox - no success. Seems like a common error. Does anybody have a workaround?
Thanks!

I did this on Windows PC on Chrome. try incognito mode on Chrome. Here is the link
https://www.avios.com/us/en/homepage
click on “live chat” and proceed from there. Don’t forget they are based in UK so he time difference might affect the chat.

Right! I am at the end of my tether. I cannot find how to transfer Avios from IB to BA. In fairness I have not used the Iberia account for two years as when I do fly them, it is on Avios bookings that I have made with BA. I am using Edge.
Do I need to buy some Avios as someone had suggested years ago? Can anyone assist please?
